    Re: Ungaro: Hmm. Does that mean at some point in time, I might actually be able to afford one of the dresses from Lindsay's collection? Because I liked four of them a lot, which probably means that I have zero taste. #lindsaylohanungaro

    That Anthropologie is highly profitable does not surprise me. They carry the same made-in-a-faraway-sweatshop level of quality as Urban Outfitters(aka, very low quality), but at a much, much higher price point. Quite brilliant, really.

    @NoelleBlue: I got a gorgeously overpriced set of glazed pottery measuring cups there that I adore. I practically opened my wallet and asked them to take out the amount they felt was fair. Hypnotized, I also signed up for their frequent shopper thingy, even though "frequent" and "Anthropologie" won't be mentioned in the same breath in my house very often. #lindsaylohanungaro

    Have any of you ever had those dreams where your body's suddenly bulbous? Your limbs are too big, pieces are becoming increasingly disproportionate ... scary as hell, basically.

    That's what the McQueen/GaGa shoes remind me of. #ragtrade

    Hmm, does the foot sit on top of a giant platform, or is the sole of your foot toward the bottom of the shoe, with most of the bulk on top?

    @Mary McCarthyite: Okay, here is my guess....

    The foot is positioned inside the bulb just like it would be in a normal heel. I assume it felt like walking in REALLY high platforms.

    I never thought about this before - but how does the 1-child policy relate to multiples? If it doesn't apply (and I don't see how it could) are there any regulations in China against fertility treatments that may result in multiples? Anyone from China who can answer?

    @Cellotape

    This came up when I tried to find info:
    [www.timesonline.co.uk]

    But the actual birth rate in China is closer to 2 children per couple than 1 because there are a lot of loopholes, exceptions and people who just go right ahead.

    @Katxyz: I think you can just like, ask for permission to have another child. My neighbors' families each had two kids (while living in the US, granted), but they always knew they'd relocate back to China, so evidently they'd gotten it "approved" or somesuch.

    Anecdotal hearsay = facts and stuff.

    @Cellotape: My understanding is that multiples are considered a blessing because they do not violate the family planning rules -- a "two for the price of one" kind of thing.

    @sequined: Whether it is really a "one child" rule very much depends on where in the country you live. In rural areas, the rule typically is that if you have a daughter, you can try again for a son, on the assumption that a son is needed both to help out on the farm and to care for the parents in their old age, which is the tradition in China. (As an aside, the current belief is that the girls in orphanages in China typically are second or later daughters from rural areas.)

    In cities, the one-child rule is more the norm. The rules are completely different or even inapplicable for ethnic minorities.

    For people living outside the country, the rules are much more relaxed, if they apply at all. However, for those living in the country, it's not a matter of just asking for permission to have an extra child. The fine for having a child beyond the applicable limit often exceeds a family's annual income and so it can be a ruinous choice for those who are not wealthy. In his book River Town , Peter Hesser tells of seeing a family's home knocked down by local family planning officials as punishment for violating the family planning rules.
